Why doesnt ford use the same kind of antennas that the new Chevys light trucks use. They kind of look like satallite antennas. I want to find one for my truck. I have a floppy antenna and I hate the way it bends on the highway.

 

I believe that kind of antenna on the chevys are for xm and gps. I like having my long antenna up on the hood because it lets me know if I can get under areas with low clearance before I find out the hard way, haha.

 

The technology for these "old school" antennas is so basic ... you'd think they'd all be integrated into the windshield and/or the roof line somehow. It just seems stupid to still use the screwed in antenna IMO. Oh well.

 

i agree.....they need something like the BMW's have on the rear of the roof line....

 

My dads old 97 honda accord had it built into the back window and got great reception.

 

We pay some grip for these trucks and they still have the old style antenna. I still love my truck, but the antenna just bouces around by tree branches.
